I woke up and rubbed my eyes, I had almost forgotten that I'm in Tess's house until her room came into focus. Slowly I got up and changed into my school uniform which could possibly be the ugliest thing I've ever seen.

My friends got up and changed and we decided to all go out for breakfast. We went to the diner and I ordered blueberry pancakes and a chocolate milkshake.

Before the order came I went into the toilets. When washing my hands I looked into the mirror and suddenly saw a silhouette behind me.

"Blair," I exclaimed shocked by her presence.

"Hey," she said her voice cool in a mysterious way.

I walked past her to the paper towels and dried my hands afterwards putting the paper in the bin. Blair pushed me against the wall her arms trapping me so I can't escape.

"So a little birdy told me that you might have a crush on me, Is that true?" She questioned.

My cheeks went crimson as I looked at her inquisitively, she was so close I could kiss her in less than a second. I kept my composure though and replied timidly "N-no. Who said that?"

She looked me up and down and I'm sure...well 99% positive that she stared at my lips the longest.

"Well your eyes are telling me different," She responded voice low like a whisper.

"What do you mean?" I asked slightly biting my lip from nerves.

"Your pupils are dilated which is a sign of attraction to a person," She said licking her lips.

"Oh, and by the way, you look cute when you bite your lip," Blair said so close like she was going to kiss me but she left me in the toilets making my knees feel weak.

"What took you so long?" Tess asked as I sat back down.

"Don't you mean who?" I mumbled just out of earshot.

When she realised I wouldn't answer she carried on eating her food.

We arrived at school just before the bell rung quickly going where we needed.

The first lesson I have chemistry and today we are getting new partners. The whole class lined up at the back ready for a seat and partner to be chosen by the teacher.

"Hello, class as you know we are having a new seating plan-"

The class started mumbling because they want to sit next to their friends.

"Okay first Miles and Liam," Miss directed. They were happy with that pairing and gave each other a bro hug before being seated at the front of the class.

Miss called out some more names until I heard mine "Addison...and Blair, you two will sit at the back near the window," She instructed moving the paper to see who's next.

Some of the boys and girls sighed knowing that they do not have a chance at sitting with Blair.

She grinned as we headed to our seats. I got first dib's at the seat by the window.

All of the lesson I could feel her looking at me but didn't dare to turn to look at her. Once the class had finished I collected up my books and notepads.

"Hey, so are you going to the game on Friday?" Blair asked looking deeply into my eyes.

"Yes," I said back smiling and blushing slightly.

"Cool, see you there." Then she left effortlessly after a statement that could mean a whole lot of things. What did she mean 'see me there' does that mean she'll maybe talk to me? Or am I just reading too far into this whole situation?

When I got home I went into my room and read a bit of the book 'Noah can't even' which has to be one of the funniest books I've ever read.

I hummed a bit as I listened to music until dinner which was different.

"So your father and I have some news for you," Mum said brightly and Dad was smiling for once.

"I'm pregnant!" Mum said hugging us before we could even say congratulations.

"How far along are you?" I asked when I was realised form the tight hug.

"A few weeks."

"Well, congratulations," My brother and I said in unison.

My brother and I went into my room to talk about Mum's pregnancy.

"So how do you feel now that you won't be the youngest anymore?" I questioned sitting on my bed.

"I don't mind just wonder if they will pay loads of attention to it."

"Yeah, but the baby will have the best brother and sister ever."

"I guess it will have a pretty cool brother," he said chuckling.

"Are you going to the game on Friday?" I asked changing the subject.

"I don't know maybe."

"You'll get to see Kyle," I said persuading him teasingly.

"You would just go to see Blair in her cheerleading uniform!" He retorted.

"Yeah," I replied bluntly sighing which caused us both to laugh hysterically grinning.
